  Jessica Simpson MDSep 8, 2025
  If you're experiencing video pixelation or audio pops on your Dish Network Satellite TV System, it could be due to obstructions blocking the Tailgater's view of the southern sky or a weak receiver signal. Here's how to address it: * Ensure there are no obstructions like tree branches or rain interfering with the Tailgater's view. * Unplug the receiver for 10 seconds, then plug it back in and wait up to 5 minutes. * Check the coax cable connection between the receiver and the Tailgater to ensure it is properly connected.

  If you're experiencing complete signal loss (error 015) on your Dish Network Antenna, it might be due to obstructions blocking the antenna's view of the southern sky, like tree branches or heavy rain. Ensure there are no such obstructions. Also, verify that the coax cable is properly connected between your receiver and the Tailgater. Try unplugging the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in; allow up to 5 minutes for it to power on.

How do I fix missing over-the-air antenna channels on my Dish Network?
- L
  Lisa EricksonSep 4, 2025
  If you're missing over-the-air antenna channels (Error 739) on your Dish Network, the reception quality and available channels depend on the Tailgater's placement, your location, and weather conditions. Ensure the wiring between your DISH receiver and the over-the-air antenna is correctly configured. Unplug the receiver's power cord for 10 seconds, then plug it back in, and allow up to 5 minutes for it to power back on. Re-scan over-the-air antenna channels by pressing MENU then 6-8 to access the local channels screen, and select "Scan Locals."
